Good topic! Perhaps, you should add a few more questions including, (1) have you ever lived in a mixed-income neighborhood? (2) have you ever lived in a neighborhood where more than a quarter of your neighbors were of a different race or ethnicity than you? (3) have you ever lived in a gated subdivision? (4)have you ever lived on a street with a sidewalk? (5) have you ever lived somewhere where you commuted by foot (not counting a college campus)?

I'm curious. Answer as many of these as you wish. If the answer is yes, please elaborate.

1. Have you ever lived in a CITY (not a metro area, a city) with over 350,000 people?

2. Have you ever lived in a metro area with established, 7-day a week rail transit? (Charlotte Trolley does not count)

3. Have you ever lived outside the United States?

4. Have you ever lived in a neighborhood where you regularly walked (more than once a week) to buy groceries?

5. Have you ever lived anywhere where you regularly used public buses to get around?

6. Have you ever lived in a mixed-use building? (i.e residential and office or residential and retail)

1. Yes, San Francisco and Charlotte.

2. Yes, San Francisco again.

3. No.

4. No, but I probably could have in my neighborhood in SF if I'd been willing to shop at Whole Foods.

5. Yes, the big SF again.

6. No.
